Re: New Central Illinois Regional Looking Good!
I wonder, depending on what the game is, whether the higher pressure inside the facility will affect robot performance. I suppose pneumatic systems work on gage pressure, rather than absolute, and should be ok. If the game object is lightweight, the increased air resistance could be significant. I'm sure someone has done studies on the effect!
-Nevermind- Just found a resource that says typical inflation pressure of domes is 1 inch of water, or about 0.037 psi. That still would be over 200 lbs across a 6' x 7' door, though!
